Intrepid Installer Doesn't Talk

[luke]

Hello

I saw a couple of October messages about this in the archives, but I 
believe they were both before the official release.

While orca comes up talking in the live CD portion of the desktop 
installer, the installer itself will not talk for me, on any of the 
systems on which I tried it.

I don't know if there is supposed to be other sound in the installer, but 
I never hear the amp reset click which usually accompanies sound card 
detection either, let alone the startup sound which the livecd emits.

I tried both the version of the desktop CD available from ubuntu.com's 
downloader, as well as the most recent daily build.

Any word on what is (not) happening here, or how to fix it?

Thanks and regards,

Luke
